Only)
Brother Control Centre
The Brother Control Centre is a software utility that pops up on the PC screen whenever paper is
placed in the ADF. This allows you to access the most frequently used scanning applications only
with a few mouse clicks. Using the Control Centre eliminates the need to manually launch the
specific applications.
The Brother Control Centre provides three categories of functions:
1. Scan directly to a file, E-mail, word processor or graphic application of choice
2. Copy functions.
3. PC Faxing using the Brother PC Fax Software.
AutoLoad the Brother Control Centre
The Control Centre is initially configured to automatically load each time Windows
®
is started.
When the Control Centre is loaded, the Control Centre icon will appear in the task bar. If you
don’t want the Control Centre to load automatically, you can turn off AutoLoad.
If you want to scan the document from glass platen, please use Scan to key on
the control panel (See Using the Scan Key with Windows PC, page 73.) or TWAIN
driver (See Scanning a Document, page 88.).
If the Control Centre icon does not appear in your taskbar, you will have to
launch this software. From the Start menu, select Programs, PaperPort, and
then double-click Brother SmartUI PopUp.
